    How to send a keystroke or a mouse event to another running process in Ubuntu? I want to write a C program that reads data from the USB port sent by AVR Micro Controller board continuously.In response to that it checks the data received and sends a command to another process running on the computer? Example,when the program reads 101 from the USB port it sends left mouse button down to the VLC media player window that is currently running? Can anybody explain the whole process in detail?? I would be very thankful...

        I have no idea on the mouse manipulation stuff, but you can read stuff from the AVR board if it is visible as COM Port . Where is your problem exactly? Do you have a problem reading the data from the AVR board, or getting the mouse to move?

        I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.
